al-Aqra' ibn Habis Takes Juzjan

Some of the enemy fled to Juzjan, and al-Ahnaf sent al-Aqra' ibn Habis al-Tamimi against them with cavalry. ¹ The sender here is al-Ahnaf ibn Qays.

al-Aqra' addressed Banu Tamim, urging them to love one another and to be generous to one another. He told them to begin by fighting their bellies and their private parts, so that their religion would be set right, and not to embezzle, so that their spoils and their struggle would be preserved for them. ¹

al-Aqra' met the enemy at Juzjan. The Muslims were first pushed back, then they charged again, routed the enemy and took the town by force. ¹ al-Baladhuri quotes verses by Ibn al-Gharizah al-Nahshali lamenting young men who fell at Juzjan.

The report comes from "Futuh al-Buldan" alone, and the data holds no date for it. It needs an additional source.
